While children are off from school, making child custody arrangements for their daily activities or summer vacations may become problematic. It is important to remember that consistent and responsive communication will benefit all parties involved, resulting in a less complicated summer.

Here are a few tips for co-parenting in the most effective way:

Proactive Communication

School and work schedules change during the summer months. It is important to make arrangements in advance in order to acclimate any schedule changes. Keep in mind that it is important to work together on structuring a plan that will be in the best interest of the children as well as accommodate both parents. In addition, if the children are going to be partaking in summer activities, such as camp or a sport, it is imperative that finances be discussed ahead of time.

Talk About Vacation Plans Prior To Booking

Any intentions of taking the children on a vacation should be discussed in advance of booking. Additionally, providing tentative dates ahead of time is beneficial to the co-parent. Furthermore, vacations should be discussed amongst the adults prior to informing the children. Provide the co-parent with details regarding the vacation and any other information pertaining to the vacation. Also, if you are traveling without the children, make sure that the children have a safe place to stay. The co-parent should also be informed that someone else is caring for the children.

Talk To Your Children

Discuss the options for the summer with your children. Talk about any activities or interests the children may want to engage in throughout the duration of the summer. It is important that children have a voice in how they wish to spend their summer.

Maintain Flexibility

Be open to alternative options for the summer. If a parent does not feel comfortable with a certain activity or vacation, try to compromise. In addition, be flexible with dates and schedules. Try to avoid conflicts as much as possible.

Create A Schedule

After all, parties have discussed the options for summer arrangements, vacations, and activities, create a schedule. Finalizing plans helps ensure stability for the children involved.

It can be overwhelming to navigate the custody process especially when it comes to protecting the interests of your children.

The representatives from this firm were great. I was referred to use their service from my friend for a similar situation. I met with one of the lawyers, they reviewed my mess and told me they were going to fix it. They handled my case with no issues, I dodged 6 points on my license and I’m good with that. The front desk assistants were great with navigating my calls and were great to speak with. They helped me out with my questions which all led to a great experience. From one referral to the next, they know what they do so let them work for you. Thank you.
